What
Walking the Managed, User and workspace rules folders now asks the storage backend whether each entry is a symlink and what kind it is, rather than stating the filesystem directly. An unrecognized failure code is logged and falls back to a direct lstat/stat, so behaviour is unchanged without the storage backend enabled.
Evidence
claudemd: the storage backend could not say whether the ${n} rules folder is a symlink
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
